Mark Elliot Zuckrberg



Mark Elliot Zuckrberg

I will write today about someone that has changed the Internet world. As we can see nowadays there are a lot of social networks all over the Internet world, but I am going to talk about the one that everyone, old, young and teenagers have an account on it .Facebook is a social network to make people know new people from other world easily and share their interests and daily life. Facebook launched in February 4, 2004 by guy name is Mark Elliot Zuckrberg. He is an American computer programmer and Internet entrepreneur and he was born in May, 14 1984 born and grew up in New York. He is the CEO and the founder of Facebook and he is best knows as one of four co-founders of the social networking.

However, at the beginning it was just for fun to him to try a new software he created Facemash just to see people`s reactions and he attracted 450 visitors and 22000 photos view in the first 4 hours online. The Facemashed published   in Harvard University`s computers but was shut down a few days later by the Harvard`s administration, because Mark hacked into their computers and he upload his own Facemash but he didn't have the permission to do that. 

On the other hand, he began writing codes for the Facebook January 2004 he launched it from his dormitory room with help of friends, he took Facebook to other campuses nationwide and as we can see now Facebook is one of the best social networks all around the world. As in May 2012 Facebook has announced that Facebook has over 900 Million active users more than half of them are using Facebook on mobile device. Also has been announced that he is one of the 100 richest people on the world.

On the other hand, Facebook always has many changes in the website and adding many new things to attract more people to it because there are many other competitors around like Google+, MySpace, and others social networks websites. In addition the changes they make are a lot and I will say some of them like the new Time line that allows you to see what you have posted since you started your account , also they allow you now to make a video call , subscribes and a lot of other stuff .

After a lot of paperwork and lots of thinking Facebook officially began trading at $38 per share on Friday morning and that was the biggest IPO (Initial public offering) ever an Internet company. At that price that Facebook raised $16 billion that what made Facebook become the Largest IPO in the Internet history.
Mark Zuckerberg rang the opening bell remotely
Mark personal life is just as same as any person who fall in love and date with the one they love .Mark`s wedding was in May ,19 2012 with his ex classmate and girlfriend , he began dating with her in 2003 with Chan The Chinese – Vietnamese girl . They married in Zuckerberg`s backyard in a celebration and after that now we can see on Zuckerberg`s Facebook page he listed his personal interests as “openness” making things that help people connect and share what important to them, Zuckerberg sees blue best because of red- green colorblindness , blue is also Facebook`s dominant color.
